Crusaders vs B&I Lions

[Stargazer]

Crusaders are screwed by the ref. What a fuckwitt!
Apart from the line-out, the Crusaders look better but with this ref, they're being penalised for things that shouldn't, and the Lions are not penalised for things that should be penalised. Arggh

[Tim]

@kiwiinmelb Crusaders are used to their tight five dominating, whereas the Blues are used to struggling a bit with that aspect.

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim Blues 6 and 8 are better than their Crusaders counterparts.

How many scrums have been completed?

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Vastly superior. Blues have the best loose trio in the competition.

My nagging thought for the All Blacks is that I hate the idea of us going in with both an undercooked Kaino and Read. Especially given Read isn't going to play vs Samoa.

[Bones]

Have to say, crusaders have been poor but really hamstrung by Mounga. Having a shitter.

[Rapido]

I love this refs officiating of the off side line.

2/7 by my count and both ended in penalties

[Crash]

Just cut down on the error rate and hold onto the ball

[ACT Crusader]

Good contest.

Greasy conditions and both sides struggling. Plenty of intensity from both teams.

Feels like a test match

[Tim]

Has it been Moody who has been giving away the scrum penalties?

[taniwharugby]

@Tim nah it has been the ref!!

[gt12]

Red midfield offside

[Crash]

Wow we win one against the throw........and then kick away the possession

[taniwharugby]

ah some new rules I see

Did I really read someone calling him a future All Black recently? I hope not.

[gt12]

I hate to say it, but the Saders need some Crudenchip kicks. The ref isn't going to get them onside

[Crash]

Here we go again...giving away stupid penalties

[KiwiMurph]

Apart from that early penalty Taufua is having a mare.
